Default Pulls to left and vibrates

I am interested in buying a 2004 GX470 and took it home for the weekend. It pulls to the left and vibrates on the highway. The owner (my boss) had a repair done to it for the same problem a month ago. Is this the TSB everyone is talking about? I don't mind buying a used car that has fixable problems but I want to avoid the ones that hassle you!

Its a nice car otherwise and only has 25K miles on it!

Any suggestions or comments?

Maybe thats why he is selling it. If he fix it last month and the problem already re-appear, then I would say the problem might be more serious than you think.

I had the same problem months ago. Took it to the dealer, one of the tire was low on air and there was an issue with the brake. You might want to check your's out.

Nah...too many cars needs to sell at least one if not two before he buys a new one.
You could be right though about how serious the repair is I am just curious if this is the same as the steering TSB.

Yes. They also did a balance on the tire as well.
